Relevance: 06.08.2022 Reviewer: Shkutko P.M., M.D., in

In the database of official manuals used in the service creation an interaction registered by statistical results of studies was found, which can either lead to negative consequences for the patient health or strengthen a mutual positive effect. A doctor should be consulted to address the issue of joint drug administration.

Consumer:

Using propranolol together with chlorproMAZINE can increase the blood levels or add to the side effects of either medication. Contact your doctor if you experience decrease in blood pressure or heart rate, delirium or seizures. If your doctor prescribes these medications together, you may need a dose adjustment or special test to safely use both medications. It is important to tell your doctor about all other medications you use, including vitamins and herbs. Do not stop using any medications without first talking to your doctor.

Professional:

MONITOR: Some antipsychotic agents and some beta-blockers may mutually inhibit each other's metabolism resulting in increased or additive pharmacologic effects such as hypotension, bradycardia, delirium or seizures. The mechanism may be related to competitive inhibition of CYP450 2D6-mediated first-pass metabolism.

MANAGEMENT: Atenolol, carteolol, or nadolol may be considered as alternatives because they undergo renal elimination and are not expected to interact. If this combination cannot be avoided, decreased dosage of either or both drugs may be necessary and the patient should be closely monitored for cardiovascular or nervous system adverse effects.
